This was perfect for our family needs. We were on the island to attend a wedding and the location was very convenient. We could’ve used more towel racks in the upstairs bathroom for drying used towels.Directions on how to use the tv, and the channels, streaming services, etc. available would be helpful. The house is lovely and we all enjoyed ourselves!

The house was nicely furnished and decorated. There was plenty of room for people to get together or have some down time. We really enjoyed being on the river and watching cigar racers, sail boats, freighters and jet skis travel past.The deck was plenty big for two dogs, kids and adults. Be ware that the neighbor has three dogs that are off leash and there is no fence between properties. The dogs are friendly but rushed toward our dog several times while barking. While they weren't vicious, our dog saw it as an attack and became defensive.

I will come back again! This house was right on the Columbia with bald eagles landing in the yard and was so quiet. There’s a grocery store and brewery in town, plus a couple coffee shop or breakfast cafes. Everyone was very friendly. The neighbors were also very friendly with our dog and our whole family. Such a wonderful place to relax with my family.
